In his first appearance at the Olympics, Stephen Curry left a big mark on the US team’s journey to the championship. The Golden State Warriors superstar successfully threw a total of 17/26 3-point shots in the 2 semi-finals and finals. Most of them were important shots to break the opponent’s spirit.
Stephen Curry even had his trademark “Goodnight” celebration in the finals, after hitting three consecutive three-pointers in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.
However, Stephen Curry’s performance could not help him win the MVP (Most Valuable Player) title of men’s basketball at the 2024 Paris Olympics, which title belonged to LeBron James. So why did the 1988-born star not win this individual title at the Olympics?
Why didn’t Stephen Curry win the 2024 Paris Olympics MVP title?
The biggest reason why Stephen Curry did not win the MVP title of the 2024 Paris Olympics is because he only shined in the 2 semi-finals and the final. Before that, Stephen Curry played quite poorly in the 3 group stage matches and the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, LeBron James has always had a huge influence on the US team’s play. LeBron James did not have the explosive 3-point shots in the finals, but he was effective in all 6 matches, as well as providing mental support for his teammates on the field.
